Knowledge Management (KM) is critically about three things... (1) improving individual, team, and organizational performance through a consistent and disciplined process for capturing and reusing what you know from what you do, (2) the art and science of making effective practices understood, repeated, and extended and (3) connecting KM concepts and theories into proven and effective practices to solve critical business challenges.

What is important is not what you call it, rather it is the idea that individuals, teams, and organizations make capturing and reusing what they know from what they do an integral part of normal business operations, and not an extra task. Read about KM at Acquisition Solutions where you can survey at a high level the discipline of knowledge management and its application to help individuals, teams and organizations make better decisions and deliver better acquisition outcomes. The objective is to gain a better understanding of the "know how" and "know why" of what is characterized as KM by understanding how KM can move from concept to strategy to practice in an organization.
